To celebrate King Charles and Queen Camilla's upcoming visit to Italy, which will coincide with their wedding anniversary in April, they hosted a dinner inspired by Italian-American actor Stanley Tucci.

King Charles and Queen Camilla are to host actor Stanley Tucci at a formal dinner on Friday evening to mark the confirmation of a state visit to Italy later this year. The royal couple will travel to Italy in April and meet Pope Francis and Italian leaders,

The dinner has been in the works for nearly two years, according to Tucci’s recently released memoir. In his memoir, What I Ate in One Year, Tucci details his year of eating in 2023—which included filming the Oscar-nominated film Conclave in Italy. A few passages, however, discuss this dinner for King Charles.
